BlueSkies 92 Report
April 26, 2015
Highland Sod Farm
Elizabethtown, KY

The day started out cold, windy and cloudy. It did not start out to be a good day to fly rockets but conditions improved as the day progressed. It started out around 47 degrees and with winds pushing over 10 mph. The cloudy skies gave way to mostly sunny until the clouds were completely gone. The winds became calmer with a few gusts up to 5 or 6 mph and making for a good day to launch rockets.

We had 7 fliers with 44 flights on 53 motors burned. The total impulse was 6023 N-sec. (CTI M1670 BS) .
